Intel Chipset Generations: Compatible CPUs and DDR Memory Reference Table
If you work in IT, you know the 'e-waste scalpers' crowd. I'm one of them — used enterprise hardware is cheap and performs well, and nothing epitomizes it like the Xeon E3/E5 lines: multi-core, multi-thread CPUs for a few dozen yuan, sometimes just a few. But by the law of board-and-CPU pricing, the cheaper the CPU, the pricier the motherboard. So I put together a rough compatibility table of Intel chipset generations, the CPU generations they take, and the DDR memory generations they support, for my future junk-picking reference.
